Definitions

  • the invention relates to electrical power generation and, more particularly, to a method for combined cycle electrical power generation.
  • a combined cycle power plant is known from US-A-4631915.
  • An object of the invention is to provide such a method which utilises a coal hydrogenation process.
  • a method for combined cycle electrical power generation comprises: (i) introducing a methane-rich gas and steam and/or oxygen-containing gas into a reactor, reacting the methane-rich gas at an elevated temperature with the steam and/or oxygen-containing gas to form a hot hydrogen-containing gas; (ii) introducing into a coal hydrogenator coal and at least a portion of the hydrogen-containing gas at an elevated temperature suitable for initiating and maintaining coal hydrogenation reaction, hydrogenating the coal with the hydrogen-containing gas in the hydrogenator to form a char and a first gaseous product; removing the char and removing the first gaseous product from the hydrogenator; (iii) cooling the first gaseous product to form a condensed liquid hydrocarbon product and a remaining gaseous product; separating the liquid hydrocarbon product from the remaining gaseous product; (iv) removing impurities from the remaining gaseous product; (v) feeding at least a portion of the purified remaining gaseous product to the combustion chamber of a gas turbine to
  • One or more gas turbines may be driven by the combustion products and one or more steam turbines may be driven by the steam produced.
  • such hydrogen-containing gas Prior to the hot hydrogen-containing gas being introduced into the coal hydrogenator, such hydrogen-containing gas may be cooled to a relatively cooler temperature in order to obtain the said elevated temperature suitable for initiating and maintaining the coal hydrogenation reaction in the hydrogenator. It will be appreciated that with or without this cooling step, the hot hydrogen-containing gas can be/is fed from the reactor to the coal hydrogenator without an intermediate heating stage.
  • reaction processes may be used to convert the methane-rich gas into the hot hydrogen-containing gas, such as, high temperature steam reforming or partial oxidation processes.
  • the methane-rich gas may be mixed with steam and reacted therewith in the presence of a steam-reforming catalyst to form the hydrogen-containing gas, or as an alternative, the methane-rich gas may be mixed with the oxygen-containing gas (and, optionally, in addition with steam and/or carbon dioxide) and reacted therewith so as to cause a partial oxidation reaction which produces the hydrogen-containing gas.
  • As least a portion of the second separated gas may be mixed with the purified remaining gaseous product portion being fed to the gas turbine(s).
  • Hydrogen sulphide and hydrogen-containing gases which result from the desulphurisation of the char may be separated from the desulphurised char and then mixed with the remaining gaseous product prior to the removal of impurities from the remaining gaseous product.
  • At least a portion of the liquid hydrocarbon product separated from the remaining gaseous product may be fed to the combustion chamber of a gas turbine to form gaseous combustion products to drive the gas turbine to drive an electrical generator to produce electrical power.
  • This gas turbine may be the gas turbine, or one of the gas turbines, which is driven via the purified remaining gaseous product.
  • the gas turbine driven via the liquid hydrocarbon product may be a separate turbine.
  • liquid hydrocarbon products may be stored and from store, as required, be used at times of increased or peak power demand. Such storage may avoid the need to purchase suitable liquid fuels or synthesise them.
  • liquid hydrocarbon products from such store may be sold as a fuel or chemical feedstock.
  • Hot exhausted combustion products from the, or any of the, gas turbines may be passed through one or more waste heat boilers to produce further steam to drive one or more steam turbines to drive an electrical generator to produce electrical power.
  • This or these steam turbines may be the, or one of the, steam turbines driven by the steam produced by the combustion of the char, or alternatively the or each steam turbine driven by steam from the waste boiler(s) may be a separate turbine.
  • methane-rich gas such as natural gas
  • steam and/or oxygen-containing gas are introduced into a reactor 1 wherein the methane-rich gas is caused to react at an elevated temperature with the steam and/or oxygen to form a hot, crude hydrogen-containing gas.
  • reaction may be provided by a high temperature steam reforming process in which the methane-rich gas has previously been purified to meet the requirements of a steam reforming catalyst to be used, and is then mixed with an excess of steam (typically 3-5 mol/mol carbon in feed) and reacted in the reactor 1 over the catalyst (such as a suitable supported nickel based proprietary catalyst) at a temperature of 750-900°C and a pressure of from 1 to 35 bar.
  • the catalyst such as a suitable supported nickel based proprietary catalyst
  • such reaction may be provided by a high temperature partial oxidation process in which the methane-rich gas is mixed with an oxygen-containing gas (and, optionally, in addition with steam or carbon dioxide) and reacted in reactor 1 in a partial combustion reaction at a temperature of 1250 to 1500°C and at a pressure of from 1 to 100 bar.
  • the reaction may occur over a suitable catalyst present in the reactor vessel.
  • Coal and the hot, crude hydrogen-containing gas produced in the reactor 1 are fed into a coal hydrogenator 2.
  • the hot, crude gas may be fed either directly from the reactor 1 to the hydrogenator 2 or, alternatively, if the crude gas from the reactor 1 is at too high a temperature, then before introduction into the hydrogenator 2, it may be directly cooled or quenched to a desired hydrogenator inlet temperature, for example by the addition of fluids such as steam, water or relatively cool product gas recycled from a point downstream in the scheme.
  • the hot, crude gas provides the reaction heat in the hydrogenator 2.
  • the coal and hot crude gas are fed into the hydrogenator at an elevated pressure and an elevated temperature suitable for initiating and maintaining coal hydrogenation reactions so that the coal is hydrogenated by the hydrogen-containing gas to form a char and a first gaseous product.
  • the char and the first gaseous product are removed from the hydrogenator 2.
  • the first gaseous product is passed to a gas cooler 3 where a condensed liquid hydrocarbon product and a remaining gaseous product are formed from the first gaseous product.
  • This remaining gaseous product leaving the gas cooler 3 is passed through a gas purification unit 4 where impurities such as hydrogen sulphide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen chloride and ammonia are removed.
  • At least a portion of the purified gaseous product which comprises methane, carbon monoxide and hydrogen and exits from the gas purification unit 4 is fed to a gas turbine 5 where it is combusted with air in the combustion chamber 5 a of the turbine 5 to form gaseous combustion products to drive the turbine which in turn drives a first electrical generator 6 to produce electrical power.
  • the liquid hydrocarbon product which would typically comprise a mixture of aromatic hydrocarbons, may also be fed to the combustion chamber 5 a and combusted therein with air to form further gaseous combustion products to drive the turbine.
  • the liquid hydrocarbon may be fed to a storage vessel 7 from which the liquid may be drawn as required and fed to the combustion chamber 5 a .
  • a further portion of the purified gaseous product exiting from the purification unit 4 may be passed to a gas separation unit 8 wherein the gaseous product is separated into a first separated gas which is a hydrogen-rich gas (i.e. at least 50% wt/wt hydrogen) and into a second separated gas which comprises methane and carbon monoxide.
  • a first separated gas which is a hydrogen-rich gas (i.e. at least 50% wt/wt hydrogen) and into a second separated gas which comprises methane and carbon monoxide.
  • the char While still under an elevated pressure and at hydrogenator exit temperature, the char is fed from the hydrogenator 2 into a desulphurisation unit 9 in which a bed of the char may be held for an average period of 1 to 20 minutes at a temperature of 750 to 900°C and a pressure of at least 20 bar while the first separated hydrogen-rich gas is passed through the bed to cause desulphurisation of the char.
  • the temperature may conveniently be maintained, if desired, by injecting small quantities of air or oxygen to induce combustion of part of the hydrogen-rich gas.
  • the char is then cooled and reduced in pressure (and optionally stored) before being used as described below.
  • the second separated gas, from the separation unit 8, which comprises methane and carbon monoxide is mixed with that portion of the purified remaining gaseous product being fed to the gas turbine 5.
  • At least a portion of the desulphurised char from the desulphurisation unit 9 is fed to a char-fired boiler 10 where the char is combusted with air to produce steam which drives a steam turbine 11 which in turn drives a second electrical generator 12 to produce electrical power.
  • Hot gaseous combustion products are exhausted from the gas turbine 5 and are passed through a waste heat or heat recovery boiler 13 to produce further steam which drives the steam turbine 11 which in turn drives the electrical generator 12.
  • Waste gaseous flue products from the boiler 13 are led away to the stack 14 without further clean up.
  • the coal feed to the hydrogenator 2 may be prepared by drying and grinding to an appropriate size range to suit the hydrogenation process.
  • Any unreacted hydrogen contained in the gases exiting from the purification unit 4 may, optionally, be recovered by known means for recycle to the hydrogenator 2.
  • coal hydrogenation in the scheme described above is advantageous because both char and liquid fuels can be produced which contain sufficiently low amounts of sulphur, nitrogen and chlorine (which are all precursors of 'acid rain' emissions) that a high reduction of 'acid rain' emissions is already achieved without the need for disadvantageous and expensive downstream treatment of the flue gases, such as NOX removal and desulphurisation.
  • contaminants including S, N and Cl
  • the equipment may be made compact because of high operating pressures (leading to small gas volume) and very rapid reaction rates in hydrogen.
  • hydrocarbon liquids produced are lighter, more volatile and less viscous in nature and substantially free of troublesome heavy residual or 'pitch' fraction which can result from other thermal coal conversion processes, such as coke ovens (carbonisation) or coal liquefaction.
  • thermal coal conversion processes such as coke ovens (carbonisation) or coal liquefaction.
  • Applications investigations have shown that the hydrocarbon liquids produced in their process can contain 30 to 90% of valuable benzene.
